Consumer Description

DRIVING ON FREEWAY, WHEN HAD CAR PULL IN FRONT OF ME. HE DID NOT SEE ME. USING BRAKES HAD ALMOST NO BREAKING POWER, AND LOCKING REAR WHEEL. ABS HAD FAILED. AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMW. BIKES LOOSE ABS ALL THE TIME, BUT ABS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY OPTION. ON A MOTORCYCLE ABS CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. *TR
